Pennsylvania Expects Hemp Program To Grow X10 In 2018

Lancaster online reports

Pennsylvania’s industrial hemp program could expand tenfold in its second year, Gov. Tom Wolf announced Wednesday.

This year was the first in decades that hemp could be legally grown in the state; the state offered 30 research project permits limited to 5 acres each, and approved 16 of the 17 applications submitted, none of them in Lancaster County. Officials said the projects covered less than 50 acres this year.
